The Palo Alto Oaks split a Sunday doubleheader against Western Baseball Association rival Fontanetti's to bring their season record to 12-2.

Fontanetti's won the opener 12-1, holding Palo Alto to three hits. The Oaks rallied to win the final game 3-0.

The Oaks exercised several pitchers in Game 2. Starter C.J. Hillyer claimed the win with four shutout innings, allowing two hits. Jacob Naval and Brandt Norlander held Fontanetti's hitless over the final three innings, completing the shutout.
